Abstract: Diaspora communities successively became an indispensable “soft power” instrument of governments’ diplomatic strategies by promoting specific foreign policy agendas beyond the borders of the nation-state. According to several studies, the Chinese and Indian cases show best that diasporas can contribute actively and in various ways to the development of their country of origin. They highlight how states deal with their expatriate communities, perceived as vectors of politics, economy, and relays of influence and lobbying. Although China and India follow the same objective, they apply different strategies worth being looked at in more detail.
